If you’re having some trouble signing in to your account and did not receive the two-factor authentication code, we can help!
Depending on the current 2FA method you use, you can:
I use an authenticator app but no longer have access to it
Got a new phone? No longer have access to your authenticator app?
No problem, we can help you change your 2FA method back to SMS so that you can login to your account again. You will then receive your 6-digit verification code as an SMS message.
To re-enable SMS 2FA:
Open the sign in screen of the Shakepay app and enter your current login credentials
When you get to the Authenticator verification screen, you can click on reset my authenticator.
Follow the instructions to submit a photo of your ID and a selfie for verification.
It can take up to 2 days for the verification team to review a selfie submitted. You will receive an email once your 2FA method has been set to SMS!
If you run into any issues, please reach out to our customer support team and they will be happy to help!
